We love the opportunity to work on something a little different, so we were delighted to help one of our clients develop designs for their Dutch barn. Reimagining this traditional form with a contemporary, light-filled interior, the design combines exposed steel framing, timber cladding and clay render walls. The curation of these features and carefully positioned skylights creates an open living space that feels warm and inviting.

Our interiors team have been putting together a scheme for our coastal extension project in Mortehoe, based on a “coastal contemporary” brief that seeks to emphasise the beauty of the surrounding vernacular. Using AI, we can transform our initial concept mood boards into three-dimensional renders, helping the client to better visualise the proposal. We’re loving the calm, serene aesthetic, with a colour palette inspired by the surrounding landscape.

We were very pleased to help this family with planning for their recent barn renovation project on this absolutely beautiful site in North Devon.

Exploring materiality through AI ✨ We’ve been turning our early-stage models for a Class Q application we're working on into renders to help visualise the design direction.

Set within the Scottish Highlands, this home draws on local materials and simple forms to sit quietly within its rugged landscape. Scots pine and locally sourced stone are used for the cladding, with a red standing-seam zinc roof chosen to echo the bracken-covered hills beyond.

Could you see yourself living somewhere like this? We’d snap it up in a heartbeat.

If you have a project you’re hoping to bring to life this year, we’d love to hear from you. Contact details can be found on our website.

2025, what a year it’s been!

As the year draws to a close, we wanted to pause and reflect on the incredible work of our team. In the midst of deadlines and day-to-day chaos, it’s easy to forget just how much has been achieved, so this felt like the perfect moment to celebrate it. Here are a few highlights from a year we’re proud of.

A huge thank you to all of our wonderful clients. It’s been an honour to work alongside you and help bring your ideas to life.

Happy New Year — and here’s to 2026 ✨

Betwixtmas is that rare and precious pause — the quiet moment between Christmas and New Year when time softens and we all take a collective exhale.
We’ve re-imagined some of our recent projects through this lens of calm: from spa-inspired escapes to cosy living spaces, peaceful contemporary places to retreat, and homes that merge seamlessly with nature. Whether it’s switching off, staying in, or gathering with those closest to you, these are spaces designed for rest, reflection and reconnection.
A precious time of year, shaped by thoughtful design.
